Strader, Lexington, Ky., the bay gelding “Eric," who has the fastest tirao on record for a four-year-old—2:28.}. Posterity will decide that Bennett's best claim to distinction arose from tbo skillful manner in which ho eluded the reporters. It was nothing to deceive the detectives. Gov. Kean, of Kansas, in his message to the Legislature thinks there never would he any trouble about Presidential elections if the people of the Honlh wero liberally and permanently disfranchised. That great railroad corporation of tho West, the Illinois Central, ban jnst Added the Now Orleans, Ht. Louis and Chiongo line to her facilities, and now, according to the Railway Aye, is the owner of 1,600 miles of road. Titu lint from tho cotton press of Dr. W. B. Jones, of Bnrke county, Georgia, eaught fire last Monday, from the friction of a pulley, and resulted in the burning of bis gin houso, and about ten bales of ootton. Ijosh about $2,000. No insur ance. No 80. Don Cameron has been chocked in his warlike Pennsylvania movements, as tho hill which ho prepared in Washington, providing for the appropriation of $1,*» 000,000 to put the Pennsylvania militia on a war footiug, is not likoly to bo passed by the Legislature. Captain John 0. Hart reports a new malady among his sheep that is taking them off at tho rate of from three to five a night. On last Haturday, a party of gentlemen dissooted the head of one that had roeontly died, and found a worm in such closo proximity to tho brain as dently to have caused the sheep’s death. The United States Court at Springfield, lllinios, has decided against reopouing the settlement of the estate of the late Stephen A. Douglas, whioh has been so persistently litigated in the interoat of the 44 Litile Giant’s" widow. Mr. Dong' las’s widow is now the wife of Gen. Will iams, of the United States army. On some very important measures late ly in Congress Mr. Ilill and others wero abseut or not voting. This is not the kiud of a man Georgia desires iu the Son ate. Ho and Mr. Norwood aro in Atlauta working for thoir own interest, when thoy were elected over other men who would at least havo romainod at tho Capitol and voted when their namos wero called, Robert II. Marr, one of tho Associate Justices of the new Hupromo Court of Louisiana, is a native of Tenuossoe and fifty-three years of age. To hiH perseve rance and ability tbo bar of the South is chietly indebted for tbo decision of the Supreme Court of the United StateH re storing the right of Confederates to prac tice at tho bar of the United StateH Courts. Governor Hendricks on the last day of his offloial term pardoned a man v/ho was under a life sentence. The prisonor fired a pistol at one man aud killed another. He studiod so muoh upon the matter in prison as to become partially insane upon that topio. The Governor and he had been school-fellows in early life, aud this foot joined with others produoed the ac tion of tho former. It is a curious sign of tho times in India that, chietly with native capital, a largo ootton mill has lately heeu e.staldished at Barraokpore, near Calcutta, with the figure of tho blue god Vishnu, for its trade mark. Tbore are now twenty cotton mills at work iu Bombay, and ten or twelve more iu course of count motion thoro, while outside of that city in other sections there are nineteen others. A native boy cau earn six rupees a month at these mills, whioh is one mpoe more than his father formerly could earn for the support of his family. A violin just bought by a Russian for $2,000, has a curious history. It was sold by its maker, Stainer, to a certain Count, who promised, iu exchange, to pay $250, to furnish Staiuer with a good dinuer as long as he lived, $50 tho first of each mouth, a complete outfit once a year, two barrels of beer, his lodgiugs, fire, light, aud, iu case that he married, as many hares as he required for his table, and two baskets of fruit for himself and two for his old nurse annually. These conditions were fulfilled for eighteen years, until titaiuer died. Senator Cameron was interviewed by a New York 77era Id reporter on hia return to Washington from Columbia, and from tho report we extract tlie following : 4 ‘Senator Cameron when asked why on the faoe of the returns Chamberlain was defeated and Hayes’ Electors elected, an swered that while the oommittee had not been instructed to investigate the State •lection, he could say that this result was due to the personal appeals of Hampton to the oolored people, who being many of them possessed of property, believed his promises of retrenchment and lower taxes and voted for him." There is little hope for Chamberlain when even Senator Cameron admits he was defeated by the votes of oolored men who feared for their prosperity in event of his re-election. We opine that the end of this worthy draws near. TIIE CONFERENCE. Reduced to its last analysis all govern ment is a compromise with destiny. This is proven fully in the impressions of the Conference Congressional bill. Tho extremes of neither party favor it. The moderate men advocate it for various rea sons, the chief smong which is that it is the best thoy cau do to avoid strife. Tho general foeling among the Democrats is that thoy must accept this bill, or yield to Hayes’ inauguration or bo willing to haz ard to civil war. When Bayard, Thurman, Gordon, Merriraon and other true, tried Democrats array themselves on tho side of a measure, whioh Morton and bis crowd thoroughly oppose, there can be no hosi*» tancy on tbo part of tho Houth. Especially is this the case whon the Domocrrts of tho House Committee conour collectively in passage of the bill. Tho Republican journals say Hayes is elected without doubt and tho President of tho Sonato is the solo judge of what electoral votos he shall open and count. Tho Democrats claim the oloction of Tildon os positively, and contend tho PreaidouI of tho Sonato has no snch pow er as mentioned and that he is nothing but a presiding officer to do tho bidding of the houses which are judges both of tho fact and the law. Here oomes tho neces sity for the compromise. Tho entire ludopondont press of tho country endorse tho bill and strongly urge its adoption. The majority of tho Democratic papers aro on tho same lino. Tho Republicans condomn it. Gov. Hendricks approves tho moasuro, and from the position of his closest frieuds it is considered that Govornor Tildon does a/so. Lieutenant Governor Noyes, a trusted and personal friend and advisor of Gov. UuyoH, is counted in tho opposition, lie is considered as representing the views of Gov. Hayes, whon ho says ho doesn’t “be lieve in any plau thnt would take from tho Prosideut of tho Senate the right gran tod him by procedont, made in tho choice of tbo first ten Presidents of tho Unitod States of counting and deciding upon tho electoral vote. IIo thought, however, that if this custom was to be departod from tho present plan would, perhaps, bo ns satisfactory as any, and would, ho firmly believed, oloct Hayes.” The Chief Justico of tho Suprome Court is oxoluded from the commission. Tho two Democratic Justices named in the bill are Clifford and Field, aud the Republi* cans Miller and Strong. Below wo give a list of tho Associate Justices : Justico Nathan Clifford, of Maine, ap pointed in 1858. Justico Noah 11. Swayno, of Ohio, ap pointed in 1862. Justioo Sainuol F. Miller, of Iowa, ap- pointed in 1862. Jnstioe David Davis, of Illinois, ap pointed in 1862. Justice Stephon J. Field, of California, appointed in 1863. Justico William Strong, of Pennsylva nia, appointod iu 1870. Justice Josoph P. Bradley, of Now Jersey; appointed in 1870. Justico Ward Hunt, of New York ; ap pointod in 1873. Viewing the situation in evory light the convention appears fair and equitable, aud wholly devoid of trickery. Judgo Black says tho hill is unconstitutional. Per contra, Senators Bayard, Thurman, Eumumls aud Conkliug—all distinguished lawyers—say it is not. TIIE HKIMAUE Oft' GOV. COLQUITT It is a strong paper aud a convincing oue. If our Legislators aro not protend- iug a sham iu regard to retrenchment and reform, thoy will heed this message and put its recommendations into practical shape. The State dosiros more action and less talk with reference to economy. Tho HularioR are low enough. The mom- born should commouoe on thoir own pay, which is three times too much. A reduc tion of their motuhora the Governor merely hints at, but this is a move whioh is greatly needed. Our Sonato nml House are too numorons. lusteud of doing this, wo noto that ono member has introduced a hill to make another county. He is a specimen of the average Georgia Legist a tor. Tbe Govornor shows how a marked shrinkage iu tho printing expense could be produced by letting out the con tract to tho lowost responsible bidder. The large sum of $20,000 was spent in “print ing” in 1876. This independent of the insertion of various advertismeuts in the papers. This plan wasadvocatod in those columns somo days before the olectiou of State Printer and before wo had an idea of the parties to be chosen. We trust the suggestions of tho Governor may event uate iu something besides mere lip ser vice. OKOKUIA HKNATORHIIIP. Tho Goorgia Legislature in joint session commenced balloting to-day for United States Senator, to succeed Senator Nor wood. Tho total vote consists of 210—44 in the Sonato and 175 in the Houso. It is predicted by kuowing ones that on the first ballot Norwood will have 70 votes, Hill 75 and Smith CO, and re mainder scattering. In tbo course of ballots it is believed that Smith will gaiu from the other two. The election may occupy several days. The fnouds of each oandidate are confident. Muscogeo's vote will bo divided between Smith and Hill. To elect 110 votos ore required. ATLANTA. The Public Printer-Wby Should the Work not bo let out by Contract ?—Our Hen-Ill« Brilliant Speech won’t inoke Him Senator- War to tbe Knife between His and Norwood’s Friends—Ben bus Him on tho Talk—Re trenchment and Hefoim a Humbug ns Pro cessing in tho Legldaturo-TUo Truo Plan. Wells, of Louisiana Returning Board fame, made a moat unfavorable iinpres sion of his veraoity before the Congres sional Committee at Washington. He did not know how many votes Tildon got, or how many votes were deducted from Tilden, or who carried the State on the face of the returns, aud was all through as inuocent, ignorant aud bland as the heathen Chinee. Mr. Field pressed him very closely, and brought his rascality into bold relief. The unwilliuguess of these fellows to produce their papers or disclose the truth is making upou all the irnpros- sion that Tilden carried the State. Wonderful.—H. H. J. admits paying fare on the Georgia Railroad, besides sleeping car and porter expenses. Men tioned it in a letter to tho Telegraph* Messenger as a praiseworthy aotiou. The age of miracles hasn't passed. Atlanta, January 21, 1877. Tho gentlemen connected with the Franklin Publishing Company think wo did thorn injustice in the strictures upon the mode of securing the contract, be cause the information upon which thoy wero based did not correctly represent tho facts. They assure us thoy did not combine with any newspapers for that purpose ; that they made offorts to secure the contract, and alno had nowspapor friends to aid them—notably among whom was Mr. Estill, of the Savannah News, thoy do not deny. But thoy way that these gentlomou wore stockholders iu tho com pany. It was not our intention to do these gentleman or their company an in justice ; nor to thrust at them, for wo do not bolievo that a combination formed in whioh is abated a part of the profits to secure tho contraot, is tho had part of the public printing business. Nor do wo think it wrong to oven join in with any uowupaper or job office that design doing part of the work, assume part of the re sponsibility and roceivo part of the pay. The bad portion exists iu a nows papor thnt does not intend to do any of tho work, nor tako any of tho responsibility, nor havo any thing to do with the matter except to con trol votes, aud for that charge and recived a part of tho profits or a specific sum. We iutended in our lottgr to show tho peo ple how the contract was reported to havo been obtained, and wo coufonH that it look ed like bulldozing to us for a newspaper to control four or five votes, and place those votes at the disposal of a man or men who will pay them (tho newspapers) the most money. Wo are glad to know that the Franklin Printing Company, did not allow them selvos bulldozed as we were led to bolievo. We think it wrong for any applicant to be forced to secure patronage from tho Stato, by dividing profits with partios who have no right to them except as lobbyists. our 1»EN arrived bore Friday night. A delegation of friends wont up tho Western and At lantic Railroad, met him at Adairsville and escorted him to the city. Last night ho addressed a tremendous crowd of legislators and citizeus iu the hall of tho House. Mr. Hill oxpluined tho past, pres ent and future, and his explanations wero greeted with rounds of applauso. His effort was, no doubt, tho greatest of his life. lie spoko three hours. The last hour was ono continued stream of brilliant oratory. His nudienco followed him as he pictured himself, his past and his present, as he pourod out Ins bitterost in veotives against those who sought his de struction, and as he would roach ono ot his pinacles of eloquence the nudionco were liko crazy men, so loud wero thoy in their demonstrations of approval WILL NOT MAKE HIM SENATOR. Wo don’t think Mr. Hill’s speech will make him /Senator. Ho hns stirred up tho “bile” of the Norwood faction. Last night they wore “rod hot and still a heat ing." They will not “stand and take it.’ So it is decided that Senator Norwood shall address the Legislature and others to-morrow (Monday) night. BITTERNEHR SUCCEEDS GOOD FEELING. The good feeliug that has existed bo ■ tween tho aspirants and their frieuds has “ployed out,”and now it will bo war nm? war to tho knife; but only as botwoeu tho Norwoods aud Hills. Ex-Gov. Smith aud his frieuds are staudiug aloof, “watching and praying." They do not try to innko capital by abusing anybody, and will not allow themselves drawn into strifes and bickerings, so ill-timed and out of place. HAS HIM ON THE TALK. Wo ouoo heard one of our old citizens toll of a fight ho was engagod iu. Ho said : “Well, bofore I knew it he gavo me a blow and 1 was knocked nbout twenty feet. Frieuds interfered nnd kept us separated. Wo then commenced war of words. Then I had him." Tho war of words" has commenced between tho Hills and Norwoods. What chance hns the Norwoods in auoh a fight ? When Our Bon" cannot “explain’' ho has “lost his art.’’ RETRENCHMENT AND REFORM Is the groat cry of our law makers. Espe cially is this the wail of a member from Fulton. This Retrenchment and Reform movement is as arrant a humbug as tho Cardiff giant or the animated mummy. It is like refusing your wife a calico dress and paying ten dollars for a box of cigars. Those “Retrouchors aud Reformers” want to give the Govornor $3,001) a year, the Judges of Supreme Court $3,000, the cir cuit judges $2,000, aud ro ou. Thoy don’t Ray a word about cutting their own pay down to ono dollar por day, which ifl the full value of tho services of au aver age legislator. They don’t move towards dispensing with the army of clerks that get Roven dollars a day and never work more than two or three hours out of the twenty-four. They don’t let out the publio printing to the lowest bidder, aud Rave $10,000 to $15,000 por annum. They don’t stop wasting thoir time “changing county lines," “amending sections of tho code," and other useloss legislation. The great Stato of Georgia does uot ueod“retreuoh*‘ iuent«aud reform." She only requires honesty. Give her that aud she is safe. She can’t afford, uor does she desiro to bo niggardly towards her servants. She wants her best men at the helm of state. Sho wants her ablest and purest lawyers for her judiciary. Tho retrench ment aud reform policy of Mr. Fry, of Fulton, aud other would-be reformer?, would soou bankrupt the State financial ly, politically and morally, for no honost man would be Governor, as ho could not live upon the salary an«l uphold the hon or and dignity of the position. Imbe ciles would occupy tho seats of our judges, as what lawyer of character or ability would take a plaoo at a salary less thau the average fee iu a oontested will case. We thiuk the Chief | havo a salary of $10,000; the Judge* of j the Supreme Court $6,000 to $8,000 and I the Circuit Judges $3,500 to $4,000. This can be dono without burden to the tax payers. Let our Legislators pay for what tho State gets, and pay for nothing more. In other words if oar Legislator* will manage the affairs of th# State as any common sense man manage* his own business, they will find that there will be no necessitjt for being niggardly in the salaries of the publio servants, and the burdons on the people will be con siderably lessened. SUGGESTIONS FOB BEAL REFORM. As one of the people we olaim the priv ilege of suggesting to onr Representatives remedies for the evil, and while some of these “Retrench©!* and Raformers" may bo honest in their movement, we think they have not lookod at tho matter advisedly, end are being humbugged by a theory and are humbugging their constituents. The great evil of our Legislature is its great number, and when ao many are required tho majority aro necessarily men not con versant with the working details of the government. They are mostly men of simple habits, who live on a few hundred dollars a year, and they can’t see why it is that $3,000 wont support any family. They know that hundreds of thous ands of dollars are gathered into the Treasury every year. They See where none of it goes to, except the salaries of officials. Well, this is a very small amount. If they will look at the expense of forty days’ legislating, when twenty is long enough, they will find enongh monoy gone to pay all thesalariesof State officers. Count tbe army of clerks getting $7 por day, when equally competent men ore willing and anxious to do the work for $2. Wo are told that men receive the appointment of clerk and get some other persons to perform the duties and divide. There are thousands of ways that absorb the State’s funds, from Vhich the Stato receives no returns. If the Senate and House will elect each aelerk and pay them $5,000 salary, and require them to employ their help, the work will be better dono than now. Many of the elerks here tofore have been totally incompetent, so much so that we learn that now all sub- olerks have to go through a spelling test beforo allowed to take positions. Knud.

Mr Fry’s bill in the House to amend the Constitution of Goorgia proposes some sweeping changes. The bill makes the term of office of the Governor two years instead of four; of Supreme Court Judges six years instead of twelve; Superior Coart Judges four instead of eight years; makes Solicitors General elected by the people; abolishes tbe office of notaries jublic and ex-officio justices of the peaoe; noreases tho number of Supreme Court Judges from three to five; caeates five district courts of appeal to be composed of four or more judges of oontiguous cir* cuits and one Judge of Supreme Court; reduces the homestead from $2,000 to $500 realty, and from $1,000 to $250 per sonalty; kills all bonds issued or to be is sued under any pretence, establishes salaries, etc. As a majority of the Logis latnre are in favor of a Constitutional Convention, we presume that these re forms in the organio law will be left for that body to pass upon when it assembles. DEMOCRATIC * HEVOLUTIONM- THE TRUE SPIRIT. The Democraoy of Kentuoky held mass meeting in Louisville Friday at which nearly every distinguished man in the State was present. At the ratio of one for every one hundred voters there were sixteen hundred delegates, and every oounty was represented. The speeches were all of an enthusiastic Tilden charac ter. They claimed his election and de manded his inauguration. Tho resolutions reaffirm devotion to the Union and Constitution and the right of State to manage her own ooncerns ; that Tilden and Hendricks are elected and must be inaugurated ; that the House has equal rights with the Senate; that the President of the Senate has no right to count the eltctoral vote without the cot) sent and under the direction of both houses; denounce military interference; nnite with the Democracy of Ohio in the call for a national convention, and with Indiana in appointing a com mittee of nine on federal relations; and that thoy look with apprehension upon the resort to unusual tribunals for the settlement of the questions now in issue; and we believe that the firm exer cise of its constitutional power* by the House of Representatives will result in the proper adjustment of the troubles now threatening the country. The following resolution means busi ness : Resolved, That an appeal to arms is the last desperate remedy of a free people in danger of being onslavod, bat may be come a necessary remedy in resistance to destructive usurpations and military dos- I >otism. We urge upon our Senators and Ltepresentativos tho exhaustion of all peaceful moans consistent with honor and with the Constitution for averting the perils with which our institutions are threatened before leaving the people to the dire alternative of submitting to tyran ny or fighting for freedom. The Wisconsin Democrats were in ses sion on tho same day and passed similar resolutions.
